Just to say, if you are jumping ship (and who can blame you?) and want to keep in touch, I’m on the butterfly app under the same handle. You can also find me on IG (owengwr) and LinkedIn.

Nature Without Barriers is happening today at the @mataracentre
Despite the snowy weather, our guests are starting to arrive.
Throughout the day, they'll hear from experts about the barriers disabled people and people with mental health conditions face when accessing nature.

One of the ways we're working to improve accessibility is through this library of objects that can be borrowed during a visit to Dyrham Park to make your visit easier. It's in the locker room near the house entrance. 💜
